Golden Road Brewing Pub Debuts

You already know about
the massive Golden Road brewery in Atwater Village. Now you can stop into the super-casual pub next door
to sample the twice-baked potatoes and meatballs made with pork, bacon and pancetta. And beer. They also
have beer.

Half-Off Clothes at A.P.C.

If you aren’t gifted enough French-looking shirts, cords and nautical-striped sweaters this weekend, take
matters into your own hands. Literally. Go into A.P.C., grab what you want and haul it to the
register—almost everything is half off. Alternatively, there’s still time to buy for other people.

A Drink and a Smoke, Sort Of

About
1886’s new cocktails... it’s almost like you’re smoking them instead of drinking them. Try The
Smoking Jacket, with whiskey, tobacco bitters and edible orange-vanilla ash. Or the Coffee &
Cigarettes, a vodka-and-stout concoction served with an edible vanilla-paper cigarette in a metal
ashtray. No lighter required.

Sunday

HOLIDAY PIE

A Christmas Pizza Party

Christmas. A time for family. And gifts. And, of course, sausage pizza. Osteria La Buca is throwing open
their doors at 5pm on Sunday for a party devoted exclusively to pizza and booze. (To repeat: the menu is all
pizza and booze.) Guess you made it onto the “nice” list.

Monday

THE HANGOVER

Your Post-Christmas Hangover Brunch

We know what you’ll need come Monday: a big trash can for all that wrapping paper. Also: a bottomless
brunch on a porch. The Hudson’s got a Hangover Burger (avocado, bacon, jalapeño cheddar, fried
egg), plus endless mimosas or beermosas. Yes, OJ in your beer. For the vitamin C.
